this begs a discussion about the developing ego and its autonomy

basically. is it really consent if they were raised in a manner than never allowed the thought of not consenting to it as an option?

Agreed.
Anyway, I'm glad you now realize why incest is bad, and how incestuous relationships fundamentally differ from gay or interracial relationships.




how big are your sister's tits?

The primary social problem with cases of incest is the emotional power that one partner will (in most cases) have over the other. Beyond this, the genetic implications of parent/offspring unions or brother/sister unions (which are statistically minimal, but still significant) can factually offer serious detriments to the children born as a result (and thereby society as a whole). Other than this, there is no justification.

I have been categorically against incest and the studd in that thread but my point is that if we accept the logic of consenting adults I don't see how we can justify prohibiting incest if it's with consenting adults

realistically speaking in modern society consenting adults do not generally get prosecuted under existing incest laws even when they might technically be culpable

incest laws are generally used to make it easier to prosecute senior family members who abuse kids or use their positions of authority in the child's life to groom them to be sexually available at an age that otherwise might technically be legal

from what I've seen of case studies where this happens the way it goes is basically when the daughter is around 14 or 15 the battered wife starts getting shut in the house and the father starts treating the daughter like his wife and then either immediately or at a later point begins loving her

without incest laws this would technically be legal as long as he doesn't touch her before she turns 16 so uh yeah I feel no compulsion to strike these laws from the books, gently caress these sickos

if you are a woman who met her estranged father for the first time as an adult and fell in love with him when neither of you actually knew you were related and now you're giving birth to your sister/daughter then I don't think either of you should necessarily be thrown in jail but I don't particularly give a gently caress if the existing law makes you feel like a hosed up weirdo because you are

I don't really care about incest per se, but I care about inbreeding.
There are some anthropologists that believe that humanity's many advances stem from the very early incest ban.
Who and how people gently caress? I don't care if it's consenting adults.
But people want to have kids together and that's the problem.

Unlike in westeros people who do incest irl are not sexy people I want to be related to so I can gently caress and so should be forbidden from doing things.

Age of consent laws, like many laws, represent a 'best guess' effort to promote social wellbeing rather than a rigid statement of moral law. In moral terms, there may well be some people under 16 who are mature enough to give informed consent to sex. Certainly there are people well over the age of 16 who still have the emotional maturity of children. But measuring someone's capacity to consent is impossible to do accurately and if you tried it would just lead to some crazy social eugenics program.

Incest laws function the same way. While its not inconceivable that some people could have a healthy incestuous relationship, the vast majority of cases involve a dangerous power imbalance. So our best guess is to just put the banhammer on incest in general.

So what I'm saying is if you and your sister truly love and respect each other then go ahead and hit it, just don't get caught.

Well this is where prosecutorial discretion comes in. That example I gave earlier about a woman meeting her estranged father and not finding out they were related until after they had already fallen in love? That wasn't hypothetical, last I heard they were living together raising their sister/daughter/granddaughter and no one was planning to charge either of them with anything.

I can't really give a poo poo if someone fucks someone else that their closely related too. People think it's gross and weird but then they said that and still do about homosexuality.

Much higher risk of genetic defects in babies. In the UK, first cousin marriages (so not even directly related) have a much higher incidence of babies with deformities, thus leading to greater burden on the health system and of course upset parents. Couple thus with a belief in no birth control and you got problems.

quote:

The problem is worst among children born in Britain's Pakistani community, where more than half of marriages are between first cousins, and children are 10 times more likely than the general population to suffer genetic disorders.

If they conceive, advise them to abort or else face criminal charges instead.

Instead they should adopt a child. Therefor the gene pool is not affected and little timmy has a family.

Also legalise Polyamory. I want to have wives and husbands from different ethnic backgrounds so I will be able to form the first ever racial rainbow marriage


She's hot tho so Gramps has the right idea.

well OP, you are right, there isn't a "real" reason.

but it doesnt even have to be illegal, its a self solving problem. most people arent going to do it because it grosses them the gently caress out, and those few who will arent going to give a poo poo if its illegal or not.
